Illegal Immigration - Wheeling And Dealing In DC

An 1,100 page behemoth bill is being crafted in the Senate.
Votes for this bill are being bought with treats and pork like never before.
This is not representation for the American people!
This bill is not even good for this country nor will it really secure our borders.

Everyone in the US will end up "being registered" and it rewards lawbreaking illegals with preferential treatment.
This bill is garbage and should be wholly rejected.

- and of course Sen. Schumer is threatening riots in the streets if this bill is not passed...

"On Sunday, Sen. Charles Schumer (N.Y.), the Democrat sponsor of the illegal alien amnesty bill currently making its way through the U.S. Senate, said their would be mass riots in our streets if the Republican majority blocks the bill when it comes to the House."

- and of course the Democrat party is salivating over millions of new voters to support them in the next election.

Most Senators do not even know what they are voting for, nor do they seem to care what is really in this bill.. they are just getting whatever deal they can in return for their vote.

It is being crammed down our throats just like that mess called Obamacare.

The new Immigration Bill:

1. will COST Taxpayers $6.3 Trillion, just for amnesty; via Heritage Foundation
2. contrary to Rubio’s rhetoric, his no-welfare claim doesn’t hold up to scrutiny.
3. illegal aliens won’t have to pay back taxes to the US (page 68).
4. allows illegal aliens to access state and local welfare benefits immediately.
5. calls for a national biometric database on all adult Americans.
6. requires every American to obtain a National ID card to work legally in the U.S.

8. same chain migration provisions extended to family outside US at DHS discretion.
9. DREAM fast-track amnesty with NO age cap allows citizenship in five years.
10. over 400 waivers, exceptions, and exclusions. Enormous power grab by DHS.
11. grants amnesty to criminals and gang members. Criminal ‘catch & release’ easier.
12. makes legal immigrants eligible for subsidized Obamacare upon arrival. Costly.
13. $150 million SLUSH FUND for kickbacks to groups who wrote, promoted bill.
14. border agents put under thumb of DOJ; Office of Civil Rights (Sec.1111,1112, 1113).
15. prohibits border officers apprehending alien who “appear eligible” for legalization (69-70).
16. guts state laws prohibiting employment of illegal aliens. Anti-Arizona crowd; Rubio.
17. requires taxpayers to foot the bill for illegals to fight deportation.
18. on page 496, the bill explicitly ‘preempts’ states from enforcing immigration laws.
19. does not require Amnestied illegal aliens to learn English; Or even ‘de facto’ English.
20. provides protection for illegal identity thieves, but no restitution for victims.
21. amnestied aliens who stole American identities given new SS # and clean slate.
22. allows aliens, lobbies to sue US government for amnesty (page 75). Lawyer prize.
23. employers who aided fraud by accepting bogus ID’s, SS #’s won’t face penalty.
24. Families of elderly parents now living outside US, eligible for fed benefits in 10 yrs.
25. deportations are suspended for everyone here; bill invites deported to come back.
26. allows aliens who have been deported to return and get legalization (pages 61-66).
27. makes application’s secret; never be used by DHS for deportation (page 118).
28. ostensibly halts all deportations for 2.5 yrs. Subject to sole discretion of DHS.
29. no fence. The plan only calls for DHS Secretary to “establish fence strategy”.
30. gives secretary of DHS the sole power to certify if the borders is secure.
31. provisions in bill show that 66% of Southern border will be unprotected.
32. Requires only 3 of 9 southern border sectors to have 90% apprehension rate.
33. no biometric exit-entry system as currently required by law. Watered-down provisions.
34. “community organizers” educate immigrants on citizenship and American principles.
35. no DHS requirement to interview applicants for legalization (pg.105). Rubber-stamp.
36. no gov’t documents or background checks required to identify new immigrants.
37. discourages DHS from deporting aliens even if denied legalization.(Sec. 245B-3-A)
38. prohibits alien deportation until after appeals are exhausted years into future (page 73).
39. eligible for legalization even if found by court a phony asylum application filed (page 66).
40. puts drastic limitations on “profiling” on employer side and law enforcement side.
41. Rubio’s proclaimed Border Commission is only glorified DHS advisory committee.
42. easy pathway to get asylum. Eliminates 1-year window for asylum (page 551).
43. grants tremendous political power to the Mexican gov’t, Left groups and La Raza.
44. every form of enforcement promised was promised in 1986, 1990, 1996 immigration acts.
45. E-verify and watered-down visa tracking system are not implemented for TEN years.
46. replaces E-verify with unspecified verification system not available for years (p. 503)
47. adds addt’l 33M permanent workers via amnesty, future immigration in 10 yrs. Graph.

49. requires immigration officers help aliens apply; advertise legalization program (page 93).
50. opens door for class action lawsuits; judges appoint taxpayer-funded council (p. 567).

Horrible provisons.
Miserable bill.
This needs to be defeated and immigration laws need to be fixed properly - not done like this circus act.

Governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.

Declaration of IndependenceJuly 4, 1776

"The American Revolution was a beginning, not a consummation." (Woodrow Wilson)

The 4 principal reasons why our federal government was formed:"(1) The common defense (national security);(2) the preservation of public peace, as well against internal convulsions as external attacks;(3) the regulation of commerce with other nations and between states;(4) the superintendent of our intercourse, political and commercial, with foreign countries (foreign affairs)." - Alexander Hamilton, Federalist Paper No.23, 1787 - a founding father with most important interpretation of the Constitution.

We are a nation that has a government—not the other way around. And this makes us special among the nations of the Earth. Our government has no power except that granted it by the people. It is time to check and reverse the growth of government, which shows signs of having grown beyond the consent of the governed.-- Ronald Reagan, First Inaugural Address, 1981

"The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money." - Margaret Thatcher"Any appeasement of tyranny is treason to this republic and to the democratic ideal."- William Allen White

The national budget must be balanced. The public debt must be reduced; the arrogance of the authorities must be moderated and controlled.- Cicero (106 BC - 43 BC)

The real danger is the gradual erosion of individual liberties through automation, integration, and interconnection of many small, separate record- keeping systems, each of which alone may seem innocuous, even benevolent, and wholly justifiable. -U. S. Privacy Study Commission, 1977
